I absolutely have had a amazing time in this extension life all the time, so time has flown very fast since I came back here. There are many different activities and feelings from last semester. This life is busier than last semester, but I'm satisfied with all things that I did. There are two invaluable things that grew me up.
First, thanks to Extension students, I have a wonderful challenge to keep speaking English out of the class. We talk to each other in English, so my speaking skills improve a lot. I didn't notice how my speaking skills grew up, but my last RA said that your talking skill became better than the last semester. I was very happy to hear that, because I didn't think that I could improve my speaking skills. It was big challenge for me to keep speaking English, but it changed me. I'm talkative in Japanese, so one of my goals is to be talkative in English. I think that I can achive this goal by the end of this semester, because gradually, I become more positive to talk to people than the beginning of this semester. It's splendid challenge for me, so I will continue to stay and be very keen on English Only.
Second, many encounter with everybody make my opinion broad and sophisticated. There are more opportunities to meet and talk someone than last semester, and then, I could know about American culture more and opinions. We had Language and Culture Days (LCD) on every Tuesday. We invited guests, and we had many chances to hear the story of each topics that we are interested in. That was very interesting for me, because they gave me tons of new information about their cultures. I could know the cultural differences well, and I got more wide opinion after I heard the story from them. I think that is very good chance to know other cultures. Since I heard the stories of cultures more deeply, I became intersted in other culture more. I'm very blissful to meet not only LCD guests but also teachers, friends, RAs and hostfamily. They grew me up, so I appreciate them so much.
Recently, I always feel that I'm happy to be one of Extension members. There are many marvelous encounter or opportunities that changed me a lot. I want to be a person who has wisdom and consideration, so I will be curious about learning everything and enjoy my life with this member by the end of this semester. I'll do my best!
